(JBL EMT) Chapter 11: Airway Management Questions With
Accurate Answers.
A side-lying position used to maintain a clear airway in unresponsive patients
who are breathing adequately and do not have suspected injuries to the spine,
hips, or pelvis. - accurate answers-Recovery position
The act of air moving into and out of the lungs during chest compressions. -
accurate answers-Passive ventilation
The passive part of the breathing process in which the diaphragm and the
intercostal muscles relax, forcing air out of the lungs. - accurate answers-
Exhalation
A safety system for large oxygen cylinders, designed to prevent the accidental
attachment of a regulator to a cylinder containing the wrong type of gas. -
accurate answers-American Standard Safety System
The membrane that covers the lungs. - accurate answers-Visceral pleura
A complex structure formed by many independent cartilaginous structures
that all work together; where the upper airway ends and the lower airway
begins; also called the voice box. - accurate answers-Larynx
The amount of carbon dioxide present at the end of an exhaled breath. -
accurate answers-End-tidal CO2
Irregular, ineffective respirations that may or may not have an identifiable
pattern. - accurate answers-Ataxic respirations
The space in between the vocal cords that is the narrowest portion of the
adult's airway; also called the glottic opening. - accurate answers-Glottis
Movements in which the skin pulls in around the ribs during inspiration. -
accurate answers-Retractions
, Metabolism that can proceed only in the presence of oxygen. - accurate
answers-Aerobic metabolism
The exchange of air between the lungs and the environment; occurs
spontaneously by the patient or with assistance from another person, such as
an EMT. - accurate answers-Ventilation

Metabolism that takes place in the absence of oxygen; the main by-product is
lactic acid. - accurate answers-Anaerobic metabolism
The exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood cells in the pulmonary
capillaries; also called pulmonary respiration. - accurate answers-External
respiration
The part of the pharynx that lies above the level of the roof of the mouth, or
palate. - accurate answers-Nasopharynx
Thin white bands of tough muscular tissue that are lateral borders of the
glottis and serve as the primary center for speech production. - accurate
answers-Vocal cords
The volume of air that moves in and out of the lungs per minute; calculated by
multiplying the tidal volume and respiratory rate; also called minute
ventilation. - accurate answers-Minute volume
The biochemical processes that result in production of energy from nutrients
within the cells; also called cellular respiration. - accurate answers-
